Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise Chapter 288

Because she couldn’t speak too loudly, Lumma moved closer to Adam, so that Adam could smell her faint fragrance again.

When Lumma was not paying attention in the dark, he picked up a strand of her hair and passed it to the tip of his nose to smell it. Her hair was also fragrant.

Lumma carefully explained to Adam, but he didn’t listen to a word. And Adam suddenly asked, “Lumma, what shampoo do you use?”

Lumma was slightly taken aback. “Mr. Hills, what’s wrong?”

Adam said, “Nothing.”

Lumma said, “The price for this ancient painting has already reached 20 million dollars. Do we bid?”

Adam said, “Not interested.” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Lumma replied, “Yes.”

After that, a few more items were shown. But Adam had no intention of biding. And soon today’s mysterious item appeared, which was also the last one.

The guests became curious because Elite Auction did not announce this in advance. When this lot was pushed onto the stage, everyone paid attention to it.

The host said, “The following item has the lowest starting price tonight, twenty dollars. Everyone must be curious why the final item is such a low-priced item.”

The host’s words made the guests more curious.

Callum’s patience was worn out. “Adam, it seems that there is nothing we want tonight. Why don’t we go for dinner first.”

Jeff, who was sitting in the middle, took the words, “Then let’s go.”

George asked, “Adam, what do you think?”

Adam didn’t speak and got up directly.

Lumma picked up his coat and was about to follow.

But after she took two steps, the host finally announced tonight’s mysterious auction. “The mysterious auction is the only manuscript left by the famous cartoonist, Leah Jones, before her death.”

Lumma’s steps stopped for an instant. She turned her head to look at the auction stage. The light was on the old manuscript. The manuscript was yellow and looked like it was not carefully preserved.

“Mr. Hills, you go first. I’ll be here in a while.” Lumma handed Adam the coat, turned, and returned to her original position. When the host called the auction to start, she held up the sign.

The host said, “Twenty dollars once. Two hundred dollars once…”

Whenever Lumma held up the sign, someone followed her to raise the sign. And soon, the price reached two thousand dollars.

Lumma wanted this manuscript very much. But the most she could afford was 10 thousand dollars.

When the price reached four thousand dollars, Lumma discovered that it was Eric, who was sitting in the VIP seat, competing with her.

Lumma vaguely felt that Eric was not interested in the manuscript. Eric didn’t want her to get it easily.

Lumma continued to raise the sign, and Eric also continued. Seeing that the price was about to exceed ten thousand dollars, Lumma made up her mind and bade ten thousand two hundred dollars.

Eric’s men bade ten thousand four hundred dollars.

The host said, “Ten thousand four hundred dollars once…”

Lumma thought about the deposit on her bank card. She would have to repay the loan every month, and the decoration would cost a lot of money.

After thinking, Lumma had no choice but to give up.

Just when the host raised his hand to hit the hammer, someone raised the sign in time and interrupted the host.

The host was excited when he saw this. “Two hundred thousand dollars once. Someone bade two hundred thousand dollars!”

Two hundred thousand dollars!

This manuscript was a priceless treasure to Lumma, but it was a piece of waste paper to the wealthy businessmen present.

Lumma wanted to know who was so discerning and willing to pay such a high price.
